Interactions between your drugs

Minor

tasimelteon niraparib

Applies to: Hetlioz LQ (tasimelteon) and niraparib

Coadministration with niraparib may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 1A2 isoenzyme. At high concentrations, niraparib is able to weakly induce CYP450 1A2. If niraparib is used in combination with substrates of CYP450 1A2, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range (e.g., clozapine, theophylline, ropinirole), then monitoring for signs and symptoms of reduced exposure to the CYP450 1A2 substrate should be considered.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

tasimelteon food

Applies to: Hetlioz LQ (tasimelteon)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of tasimelteon. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may delay the absorption and onset of action of tasimelteon. According to the product labeling, administration of tasimelteon with a high-fat meal decreased peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 44% and delayed the median time to reach Cmax by approximately 1.75 hours compared to administration in the fasted state.

MONITOR: Smoking induces CYP450 1A2 and may reduce the plasma concentrations of tasimelteon, which is metabolized by the isoenzyme. According to the product labeling, tasimelteon systemic exposure was approximately 40% lower in smokers than in nonsmokers.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving tasimelteon should be advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Tasimelteon should be taken without food. Patients who smoke may have a reduced therapeutic response to tasimelteon.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
